PGIM's Dominick Carlino - operating at the intersection of asset management, insurance, and wealth management
Episode 178
Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.
Today’s episode is with an experienced private markets and distribution executive who has been educating the wealth channel and distributing private markets investment solutions at some of the industry’s largest investment platforms.
We sat down in Prudential’s Newark studio with PGIM’s Global Head of Alternative Investments, Dominick Carlino. PGIM is the $1.4T global asset management business of Prudential Financial.
At PGIM, Dominick is responsible for driving the continued development and distribution of alternative investments tailored to the firm’s wealth channel investors globally.
Dominick joined the firm in 2023, bringing over 20 years of experience in alternatives distribution. He was most recently MD, Head of Alternative Investments Distribution at Merrill Lynch.
Dominick and I had a fascinating conversation about the intersections between insurance and asset management and the evolution of distribution. We covered:
- How the distribution of private markets investment solutions has evolved.
- The benefits of an integrated platform across insurance and asset management.
- Navigating the playing field of collaboration and competition between asset managers and insurance companies.
- The importance of education.
- How, why, and where evergreen funds will be adopted.
Thanks Dominick for sharing your perspectives and wisdom on insurance and private markets. We hope you enjoy.
